JIM DUNLOP Misha Mansoor Custom Delrin Guitar Picks - 6 Pack

Misha Mansoor, a proud user of .60mm Tortex Flow Picks, initially didn't seek out a signature model. However, he soon realized that his aggressive playing style was causing the thin gauge to wear down too quickly. Seeking a pick that could withstand intense playing while maintaining the sound, flexibility, and playability of his Tortex Flow Pick, Misha approached Dunlop for a solution.

Sticking with the Flow Pick shape was an obvious choice, as it perfectly complements Misha's progressive picking technique. The wide angle and sharp tip provide exceptional handling and precision, while the sculpted edge allows Misha to control dynamics by adjusting the orientation of his attack. This makes the pick ideal for boosting solos and maintaining consistent rhythms.

To address the durability issue, Dunlop chose Delrin for the new Misha Mansoor Custom Flow Pick. Similar in feel to Tortex, Delrin maintains its shape for longer and wears more evenly, while also offering a warm tone to balance out the sharp tip's articulation.

The resulting pick perfectly captures the sound, feel, and playability that Misha needs, and it is available in two different gauges: .65mm and .73mm. Misha prefers thin picks for their ability to produce clear notes with the right amount of compression to keep everything tight and in tune. However, the desired clarity and tuning depend on the playing intensity, which varies depending on the performance environment.

For live performances, the .65mm gauge provides just enough flexibility for hard and fast playing while ensuring clear notes that stay in tune. Additionally, the blue color makes them easy to spot on stage. On the other hand, the .73mm gauge, with added stiffness from the black colorant, is ideal for deliberate and controlled performances in the studio.

Both gauges are made from Delrin for longevity, smooth release, and warm tone. The aerodynamic Flow Pick shape offers superior precision and maneuverability, while the sculpted edge allows for a wide range of attack dynamics to suit different playing styles and environments.
